Time-tested loyalty

After seeing boyfriend Shahid's performance in Fool And Final, Kareena gifted a watch worth Rs 2.5 lakh to Ahmed Khan

Kareena with Shahid

Kareena Kapoor was so impressed by her boyfriend Shahid Kapoor's performance in Fool And Final, that she gifted Ahmed Khan, the director of the film with a brand new Breitling wrist watch, worth Rs 2.5 lakh. The director had organised a special trial show for Bebo and Shahid before they left for Manali to shoot for Imtiaz Ali's next film.

Ahmed says, "Kareena wanted to watch the film before they leave because they will be busy shooting for a couple of projects, when the film will hit the theatres. So I asked my producer Firoz Nadiadwala to organise a private screening of the film for the two of them."

But the choreographer turned director could never imagine that he would receive such a costly gift from Kareena. He says, "It was a pleasant surprise for me. I am extremely fond of branded watches and I already had the same model which Kareena has gifted me. But I appreciate the gesture that she bought me something which I like. Probably Shahid had told Kareena that I collect watches."

Ahmed Khan

Ahmed and Shahid are close friends and share a fantastic rapport. Incidentally, Shahid didn't like the costumes used in the film and they used to fight regularly on the sets. "We always fight," says Ahmed. "Shahid didn't want to wear baggy trousers and insisted on wearing body hugging jeans. But finally, he listened to what I said," he says. But did his 'dictator image' irritate Shahid? "I am not a dictator. We used to fight like friends. He is looking fabulous in the film," says the director.
